Will omega 3 fish oil supplements help with depression or is that just a myth?

Omega 3s support: brain health and through that mood and cognition. You need good quality and the right dose or it won't help. Read the label to see that the combo of EPA & DHA equals 50% or more of the total capsule mgs. Fish Oil needs to be pure, pharmaceutical grade. Res-Q is a good brand, as is Nordic Naturals. ProThera is good but you need a health pro to get it for you. One cap won't do it.

Not a myth: A number of studies have supported the notion that Omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial in the treatment of depression. http://www.webmd.com/depression/features/fish-oil-to-treat-depression
